About Cristina 

My Personal Story (a very short version) 

Hi there!

I am a professionally qualified counsellor and coach, and I am currently undertaking a Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling.

In my past life I used to work as a Pharmacist, until the return of Saturn pulled me out of my comfortable and happy life in Brazil.

This resulted in me making one of the biggest changes in my life. It was in 2009 that I decided to answer my soul’s calling to travel across the sea and explore this beautiful land down under.

I did travel far, not only geographically but also within myself. This experience of discovering uncharted territories transformed me from the inside out.

In needing to find my own answers, strength and soul stamina, I became increasingly interested in the psychological and emotional aspects of health and wellbeing, and progressively disenchanted with compounding and dispensing medicines. 

Ultimately this interest led me to a total career change. I now work as a counsellor + coach supporting women to restore meaning, value and purpose in their lives – one conversation at a time.
